Thursday

Well I started writing this morning then lost it all for some reason.  Then, joy of joys, found my password for the News Statesman worked and so I went and read some articles.  They did not lighten my heart towards the government but that is another story.
Went shopping, everyone was polite and smiling, we observed our two metre lengths, especially over the narrow bridge, and i got all the animals food, even Lucy's rather expensive taste in Harrington's food.  But quite a few of the shelves were empty. Snoring gently on the chair yesterday.


Looking back.  This was a trip to London with family, traipsing round for miles with Lillie doing the famous 'L' loser, to everyone.  We are an untidy family, compared to the immaculate Horse Guard!  Which reminds me of many years ago when i had a friend who went out with one of these chaps.  She married an art conservator in the end, and went and lived in a folly mill with her beloved who restored Gainsboroughs' as I remember.  But her flat always had large paintings hanging around on the floor and I was always scared about falling into one.



They all did dry off in the end.

  1. I have found most people to be more engaged and politer than normal in recent weeks which is a positive in my boo. I shall hush my mouth about my true feelings with regards to some politicians....Arilx

    1. I wonder if it is because there are not so many people around Aril. When I park in the car park, free now i have bought my £25 - 6 month ticket, everyone also space their cars.

  3. Well they are all growing up fast. Been making a baby quilt today, must have been Kirstie who started it. Could well be that I might have some great grand children ;) Or that I might live to see them.

  4. I have one great grand daughter of almost four Thelma and two step great grand children of four and a half and two - I feel old sometimes.
    Thank you for the suggestion that I block anonymous comments - as I understand it if I do that I block all comments that are not through google and several people who comment on my blog are not commenting through google. It's not much trouble to just cancel them out. I never bother to read them and i think that it is anonymous wasting time - it only takes a second to remove it.

    1. It is a bit of nuisance our copy and paste troll,but if it stops other people from commenting it may be a good idea for me to do the same.

    1. Well with animal mouths to feed, I need to visit every fortnight or so. Though I could get a volunteer to do it for me.

  6. Your friend made the right decision in not marrying that stiff fellow when she had an artistic personality and her life not that orderly.

    Those are lovely pictures of your family.
